Keep a name check tied to its purpose
A clear request and purpose help keep an estimate focused on the task that actually needs it.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered when your bot receives a new message in a private chat, group, or supergroup. To receive every message in a group, Privacy Mode must be disabled for the bot in BotFather.
Action
Query Gender by First Name
Tool to determine gender by querying first name. Use when you need to infer likely gender for a given name with optional localization hints.
Why this helps
An unclear lookup request can create extra clarification work or lead to results that have no useful place in the workflow.
- Tie the query to a stated, appropriate reason.
- Keep the estimate clearly framed as uncertain.
- Reduce follow-up clarification about why the lookup was run.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and GenderAPI.io to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with a plain-language instruction to query a first name only when an appropriate purpose is stated in the request.
- 3Select New Message Received and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one real example that states a suitable purpose.
Questions about this workflow
What counts as an appropriate use?
Use judgment and applicable consent and privacy expectations. Do not use an estimate for consequential decisions or to make assumptions about someone.
What if no purpose is stated?
The prompt should skip the query and leave the message for clarification.
